    smile for me is a very visually appealing game, making use of a saturated color scheme and avant garde cartoon art style with inspiration of the hippie aesthetics of the mid 60s to early 70s. to me, it feels like a jack stauber song come to life. i mean this in a positive way -- as i've always admired the seemingly upbeat and uncanny feeling that his songs give off. this game is a physical representation of that, managing to not only be fun and whimsical but quite unsettling at the same time.…

    I'd like to mention both Smile For Me and its dev studio LimboLane's other big release Great God Grove. Both are unique lil adventure games with interesting mechanics, wonderful characters and art direction, and some surprisingly heavy themes to tackle at some point. Also weird puppet FMVs.

    I was really intrigued by this game, and it turned out to be a fun way to spend an evening. I’m a big fan of first-person puzzle games, so the mention of puzzles in the tags and in the description made me wonder if this game qualified. My conclusion? Kind of, idk! 🤷‍♀️ It is not a puzzle game in any traditional sense, but if you are a fan of point & click adventure games, I think you’ll really enjoy this game. Anyway! Off to the “Habitat” you go, where the sad people go to stand around…

    I went into this game not expecting much and somehow ended up liking it way more than I thought I would. The whole no-dialogue thing is actually really cool. You just kind of… get what people mean without anyone saying a word, its really unique. The characters are great too especially Dr. Habit I wish he had more screen time, you basically only see him at the end :( Also the quests are fun, but sometimes you really have to think in a *weird* way. Like that one part with the pizza (or…

    Sights & Sounds FPSA Combining the combination of a first-person perspective, 2D characters, and 3D environments, you'd be forgiven for thinking Smile For Me was an FPS game after browsing a few screenshots. Instead, what you get is a very colorful adventure game with a distinct approach to character design. That, and a few puppet shows The palette you see in most of the promotional art carries forward into the game itself. The world, while colorful, is adorned with mostly muted hues, like…

    In my "real life" I teach students at a collegiate level, and often they scream at me, over and over, to play certain games. I do the same, but guess who actually plays whose games? You're right, me. Anyways, so I don't word vomit negativity about my lovely students, "Smile For Me" is one game a student asked me to play, over and over, and seeing as it has a sale all the time, it was an easy purchase. Over Winter Break, 2025, I finally beat the darned thing, so let me start with an observation:…

    🌟10/10🌟 Smile For Me is a game that means a lot to me The aesthetic, the FEELING, I am so bad with words but I daresay I'd struggle even if I was a novelist to describe how this game makes me feel It's so simple, it's a game about small acts of kindness, of making the world happier one person at a time That's not just fun, that's beautiful

    Smile for Me is one of the most unique point-and-click games I have ever played. The characters are so eccentric and complement the world's already surreal atmosphere. The puzzles can be difficult at times because there aren't always hints. A lot of it comes down to taking initiative and figuring things out with observation and common sense.

I don't mean to just be a staunch hater, but it's really just a Unity point-and-click game of someone's Tumblr characters. This is another one I paid a small sum for years ago, so I wanted to have at least tried it, but seeing virtually no other criticism is wild. I was intrigued by the 2D-3D juxtaposition, but…

    I can see the appeal of Smile For Me to the proper audience, but for me it was painfully slow and lacking charm. Calling this a puzzle game is a bit generous, as there aren't really many "puzzles," so much as there's "contextual problem solving." None of the characters struck me as particularly interesting, either. Asthetically, I found the atmosphere overly dreary and isolating. Granted, that's very much the theme of the game, but it's tiring. Overall, it's a well built indie game. It's…

    This is actually more like a 3d click and point adventure game than anything else. You run around helping people, getting items, and solving puzzles. The default dialogue speed is very slow, but you can speed it up in the menu. The game plays very slow and drags on otherwise. It turned out much better than I expected and is a recommend to people who like point and click games.

    To be honest, I simply expected more of a 98% positve game. It's ok. It has some funny moments and nice riddles. But mostly it's just odd, has a weird pacing and an annoying sleep mechanic. The horror aspects are quite missplaced imo and the inventory management is really annoying and clunky. Hm ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's art style is adorable, and I adore Dr. Habit :3 It can be a bit difficult at times to figure out how to interact with this or that properly, but it's a very forgiving game in my opinion. You can "sleep on it" to gather more clues, and the days are long enough to figure things out. My only possible complaint is that you end up collecting…
